论文摘要

R/Antiwork是一个Reddit社区,专注于讨论工人剥削,劳工权利和相关左翼政治思想(例如普遍基本收入)。在2021年底,R/Antiwork成为Reddit增长最快的社区,与主流媒体开始称为大辞职的社区。同样的媒体覆盖范围归因于广泛的subreddit,因此加速了其增长。在本文中,我们探讨了R/Antiwork社区如何受到订户的指数增长以及记载其崛起的媒体报道的影响。我们调查了次级活动随着时间的变化,沉重和轻型用户的行为以及话语的主题性质如何随着新订户的流入而演变而来。我们报告说,尽管订户一直持续到2022年的持续增长,但在2022年1月25日之后倒塌的次级活动崩溃了,当时主持人的福克斯新闻采访受到了广泛的批评。尽管许多用户再也没有发表评论,但用户发布和评论行为的延长趋势并没有改变。最后,尽管许多用户在越来越受欢迎时表达了不满意的性质,但我们没有发现在研究期间讨论的主题内容的重大变化,除了引入与季节性事件有关的主题(例如,节日)(例如,感恩节)和新闻中的发展(例如,在新闻中的发展)(例如,从家庭和家庭中进行了努力,都在努力,并削减了复制品,

r/antiwork is a Reddit community that focuses on the discussion of worker exploitation, labour rights and related left-wing political ideas (e.g. universal basic income). In late 2021, r/antiwork became the fastest growing community on Reddit, coinciding with what the mainstream media began referring to as the Great Resignation. This same media coverage was attributed with popularising the subreddit and, therefore, accelerating its growth. In this article, we explore how the r/antiwork community was affected by the exponential increase in subscribers and the media coverage that chronicled its rise. We investigate how subreddit activity changed over time, the behaviour of heavy and light users, and how the topical nature of the discourse evolved with the influx of new subscribers. We report that, despite the continuing rise of subscribers well into 2022, activity on the subreddit collapsed after January 25th 2022, when a moderator's Fox news interview was widely criticised. While many users never commented again, longer running trends of users' posting and commenting behaviour did not change. Finally, while many users expressed their discontent at the changing nature of the subreddit as it became more popular, we found no evidence of major shifts in the topical content of discussion over the period studied, with the exception of the introduction of topics related to seasonal events (e.g. holidays, such as Thanksgiving) and ongoing developments in the news (e.g. working from home and the curtailing of reproductive rights in the United States).
